Country Singer Tanner Frick Quits ‘The Voice’ Unexpectedly & Abandons Michael Bublé’s Team Ahead Of Knockouts Round

Ahead of the Knockouts stage on The Voice, Tanner Frick abandoned the competition.

On Monday’s episode of NBC‘s singing competition, host Carson Daly told coach Michael Bublé his contestant had left the show.

“Michael, Tanner [Frick] left the competition after rehearsals. You still have Cameron [Wright] and Sloane [Simon],” Daly said, noting Frick had “left the competition after rehearsals.”

Frick didn’t reveal the reason for his exit but shared a video on TikTok singing and captioned the post, “Aint nobody want me anyway.”

The singer auditioned for the coaches, singing Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know,” which made the four coaches turn their chairs around. Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani were captivated by Frick’s voice and battled to have him on their team.

Frick chose to go with McEntire, and heading into the Battles round of the competition, the singing hopeful performed Jelly Roll’s “Need a Favor” against fellow country singer Tate Renner. McEntire chose Renner to continue on her team, but Bublé came in to save him from being eliminated and to join his team.

“Tanner Frick was a huge win for me,” Bublé said. “That’s a former four-chair turn and a piece of the puzzle that I didn’t have.”

Bublé continued, “I needed that country singer and now I feel like I’m completely in the game. It’s a brave new world we’re about to head into.”
